Material Reviews

There is embarrassingly incompetent senior management. The CEO change has turned a once productive work environment into a toxic environment. There were issues several years ago, but a strong work culture was established the last 2-3 years - but that has been deleted in the past year with the new senior management. The CEO takes no responsibility for bad decision that cost the company and led to multiple rounds of layoffs and a seemingly never-ending freeze on promotions, bonuses, and raises. Senior management also made poor decisions on the structure of business units, which has led to a visible drop in morale and growth opportunities. These things have made negative impacts on work/life balance and had a huge negative effect on the effectiveness, efficiency, and communication on business units. The CEO has zero self awareness, is a terrible communicator, and has continuously demonstrated that he does not have a game plan to take the company out the hole. To top it all off, the tactlessness of senior management destroys company morale - it was on full display when they told people to "focus on personal growth instead of our salaries" when telling the whole company that there will be an indefinite freeze on all promotions, bonuses, and raises.

Unfortunately, the leadership at this company has completely destroyed any trust, morale and work-life balance that used to exist here. Junior-level employees are expected to work significant amounts of overtime hours to complete boring tasks through inefficient systems. The company is openly staffing people to a 45-hour work week, meaning you usually work 45-50 hours a week. Those working 45 hours or less are told they're underperforming and need to work more to help balance the workload. Promotions and pay raises have been frozen all year and the company has experienced multiple rounds of layoffs. Amid promotion freezes, the company hired offshore teams to outsource resources to, instead of investing in their own existing employees and systems. The company bids extremely complex and over-priced projects to needy clients who demand their results on fast timelines. This places a lot of pressure on junior employees to execute the work quickly, even though these complex projects need more time. This results in overworked people who are burnt out. Pay is competitively low and the company is hesitant to promote, even when not in a promotion freeze.
